Here is what the Grammy nominated artist had today about becoming the new face of covergirl:
"I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them," said Monáe in a statement. "One of my core values is to help redefine what it means to be a strong and beautiful woman in the music and fashion worlds and to empower the wonderful things that make us unique.Becoming a CoverGirl is truly an honor and a gift. It opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out."

IT’S A WRAP AS NGT AUDITIONS LANDS IN THE MAJESTIC CITY OF LAGOS!!!

Yet again, some of Nigeria’s hottest undiscovered acts, as well as some bizarre ones, dazzled and displayed at 1, Bamako Street, Ojodu, venue of the auditions.
The high hopes and expectation the competitors had could be felt and seen as the first to audition was Freda Francis, a singer and
guitarist, who actually arrived at the audition venue by 5:30am. Present there, were also, Harry Blaq and Sparko Brown, singers. Harry used to be a militant with warlord Tompolo, but accepted the Federal Government’s Amnesty program and is now a student of Lead University studying Mass Communications. Sparko Brown on the other hand used to be a member of Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). They both sang beautifully and skillfully.
There were those who were also quite spectacular like Gabrial Ayankojo and Ofenga Fireman, both of whom are acrobats/magicians. The former eats bottles and and washes it down with water, while the latter eats razor blades. They are expert fire handlers – swallowing, wearing it, and so much more. They simply stunned and amazed the judges!
The Diadems of Liberty (DOL) dance group had one of the most
impressive dances showcased. They were a group of seven that fused contemporary dance and ballet in a sublime manner that really excited the judges. In addition to the talents showcased, there were rappers, comedians, and many more talents all in the race for grand prize of N10 million.
The judges were impressed with the quality of the Lagos auditions
over the two days. The manner in which the Nigeria’s Got Talent Show was embraced in Lagos greatly pleased the organizers who were not expecting such a turnout and reception in only the first year of the show.
Lagos is the last stop for the Nigeria’s Got Talent auditions. Successful contestants from all the states visited will now be called to Lagos for the final audition. The Airtel sponsored show will air on TV stations across the country from September to December 2012'.
The Got Talent franchise worldwide, which is in its sixth year, has
produced many notable performers in the last couple of years including Diversity, Bianca Ryan and Britain’s Got Talent’s 2009 1st runner up Susan Boyle, whose debut album became the fastest selling UK debut album of all time, selling over 3 million copies in the U.S.
